Okay. I've never heard of this particular anime thing. Can anybody provide a coherent description of their feelings about this project, either positive or negative, using complete, informative sentences?
ETA: Never mind. Did a little research, and watched the trailer that Zoombie was linking to when he passed out and his nose held down the key for the exclamation point.
The premise sounds idiotic (why do people keep using the ancient imaginary "four elements"?) But, the artwork is nice. So, I guess it comes down to how good the storytelling is.
This a a follow series to Nickelodeon's Avatar the Last Airbender series. It was one of the best shows. Premise, one person is the Avatar, master of all four elements. When the current Avatar dies, the next is born.
In each Kingdom there are benders, those who can control the element of their kingdom.
At the beginning of Airebender, the Fire Nation is nearing the end of a 100 year old war to control the world. Only two strong holds remain opposing them, Ba Sing Sei, the capital of the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribe of the North Pole.
Aang, an airbender, and current Avatar is 12 years old and emerges from stasis to learn of the world and the extinction of the other Airbenders at the hands of the Fire Nation.
He is befriended by a brother and sister. Sokka and Katara, she's the last water bender in the southern water tribe. Their story takes the across the world so Aang can master all the elements and defeat Fire Lord Ozai before the arrival of a comet which will give the Fire Benders unlimited power and bring about the end of the war by burning everything to rubble.
The series is on DVD and well worth watching
Korra is the story of Aang and Katara's daughter, the next Avatar
